<span id="id1"></span><h1>Template Inheritance<a class="headerlink" href="#template-inheritance" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h1>
<p>The most powerful part of Jinja is template inheritance. Template inheritance
allows you to build a base &#8220;skeleton&#8221; template that contains all the common
elements of your site and defines <strong>blocks</strong> that child templates can override.</p>
<p>Sounds complicated but is very basic. It&#8217;s easiest to understand it by starting
with an example.</p>
<div class="section" id="base-template">
<h2>Base Template<a class="headerlink" href="#base-template" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>This template, which we&#8217;ll call <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">layout.html</span></tt>, defines a simple HTML skeleton
document that you might use for a simple two-column page. It&#8217;s the job of
&#8220;child&#8221; templates to fill the empty blocks with content:</p>
<div class="highlight-html+jinja"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="cp">&lt;!doctype html&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;html&gt;</span>
  <span class="nt">&lt;head&gt;</span>
    <span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">block</span> <span class="nv">head</span> <span class="cp">%}</span>
    <span class="nt">&lt;link</span> <span class="na">rel=</span><span class="s">&quot;stylesheet&quot;</span> <span class="na">href=</span><span class="s">&quot;</span><span class="cp">{{</span> <span class="nv">url_for</span><span class="o">(</span><span class="s1">&#39;static&#39;</span><span class="o">,</span> <span class="nv">filename</span><span class="o">=</span><span class="s1">&#39;style.css&#39;</span><span class="o">)</span> <span class="cp">}}</span><span class="s">&quot;</span><span class="nt">&gt;</span>
    <span class="nt">&lt;title&gt;</span><span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">block</span> <span class="nv">title</span> <span class="cp">%}{%</span> <span class="k">endblock</span> <span class="cp">%}</span> - My Webpage<span class="nt">&lt;/title&gt;</span>
    <span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">endblock</span> <span class="cp">%}</span>
  <span class="nt">&lt;/head&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;body&gt;</span>
  <span class="nt">&lt;div</span> <span class="na">id=</span><span class="s">&quot;content&quot;</span><span class="nt">&gt;</span><span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">block</span> <span class="nv">content</span> <span class="cp">%}{%</span> <span class="k">endblock</span> <span class="cp">%}</span><span class="nt">&lt;/div&gt;</span>
  <span class="nt">&lt;div</span> <span class="na">id=</span><span class="s">&quot;footer&quot;</span><span class="nt">&gt;</span>
    <span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">block</span> <span class="nv">footer</span> <span class="cp">%}</span>
    <span class="ni">&amp;copy;</span> Copyright 2010 by <span class="nt">&lt;a</span> <span class="na">href=</span><span class="s">&quot;http://domain.invalid/&quot;</span><span class="nt">&gt;</span>you<span class="nt">&lt;/a&gt;</span>.
    <span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">endblock</span> <span class="cp">%}</span>
  <span class="nt">&lt;/div&gt;</span>
<span class="nt">&lt;/body&gt;</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>In this example, the <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">{%</span> <span class="pre">block</span> <span class="pre">%}</span></tt> tags define four blocks that child templates
can fill in. All the <cite>block</cite> tag does is tell the template engine that a
child template may override those portions of the template.</p>
</div>
<div class="section" id="child-template">
<h2>Child Template<a class="headerlink" href="#child-template" title="Permalink to this headline">¶</a></h2>
<p>A child template might look like this:</p>
<div class="highlight-html+jinja"><div class="highlight"><pre><span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">extends</span> <span class="s2">&quot;layout.html&quot;</span> <span class="cp">%}</span>
<span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">block</span> <span class="nv">title</span> <span class="cp">%}</span>Index<span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">endblock</span> <span class="cp">%}</span>
<span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">block</span> <span class="nv">head</span> <span class="cp">%}</span>
  <span class="cp">{{</span> <span class="nb">super</span><span class="o">()</span> <span class="cp">}}</span>
  <span class="nt">&lt;style </span><span class="na">type=</span><span class="s">&quot;text/css&quot;</span><span class="nt">&gt;</span>
    <span class="nc">.important</span> <span class="p">{</span> <span class="k">color</span><span class="o">:</span> <span class="m">#336699</span><span class="p">;</span> <span class="p">}</span>
  <span class="nt">&lt;/style&gt;</span>
<span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">endblock</span> <span class="cp">%}</span>
<span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">block</span> <span class="nv">content</span> <span class="cp">%}</span>
  <span class="nt">&lt;h1&gt;</span>Index<span class="nt">&lt;/h1&gt;</span>
  <span class="nt">&lt;p</span> <span class="na">class=</span><span class="s">&quot;important&quot;</span><span class="nt">&gt;</span>
    Welcome on my awesome homepage.
<span class="cp">{%</span> <span class="k">endblock</span> <span class="cp">%}</span>
</pre></div>
</div>
<p>The <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">{%</span> <span class="pre">extends</span> <span class="pre">%}</span></tt> tag is the key here. It tells the template engine that
this template &#8220;extends&#8221; another template.  When the template system evaluates
this template, first it locates the parent.  The extends tag must be the
first tag in the template.  To render the contents of a block defined in
the parent template, use <tt class="docutils literal"><span class="pre">{{</span> <span class="pre">super()</span> <span class="pre">}}</span></tt>.</p>
